Packaging market – Labels & flexible materials

SafetyFood safety and brand protection are major requirements. Anti-counterfeiting and traceability are required across the entire supply chain.

Customization, versioning, personalizationPackaging needs to reach all segments of society taking almost any shape and size across multiple job lengths across the globe.

Color control and brand imageColor consistency and control across all substrates needs to be guaranteed for brands to look good across the globe.

SustainabilityPackaging production needs to reduce its environmental carbon footprint – less waste across the entire supply chain. New and thinner substrates. Recycling and re-use are the new rules.

Faster time-to-marketA growing number of products need to reach consumers faster. Product lifetime is shorter. From product design to the consumer experience, the supply chain has to be more agile.
